This book has changed the way I relate to my BP1 son. Thank you so much for this information- and for your book - that I have highlighted and bookmarked. It really helps.

I wish LEAP would offer trainings to those in the mental health system, or anyone who thinks these skills could benefit them. Not just use as a medication compliance tool. I have had some success with this LEAP, but would be helpful to have a coach, or support group to go to. At times it’s difficult to use in the moment, or I am using it, and I don’t feel the person is being receptive. This could very much empower the MH consumer. This is a stated benefit. It could empower us in a way that’s not talked about. If you’re someone who doesn’t feel listened to, or that people react with hostility this is a very helpful thing. Causes the mistrust talked about. A vicious cycle of negative reactions. Created conflict. I have seen how LEAP can get people to react to me differently. Can create more cordial discussions, and foster understanding.

Thank you very much for sharing all this. I found this helpful. I very recently purchased a copy of your book too.

Such a beautiful lad

Would love to attend your training when vax is not required! Vax doesn’t protect everyone and you should not discriminate when so many people need mental health services we provide
